Assignment 5 - Infographics

This is by far, the hardest assignment of them all.

An infographic on fighting climate changes. There are only that few measures we could take. Everyone would probably think along that line too. Energy conservation, deforestation and global warming. In the end, I decided to go along with the issue on deforestation.

Some of the online sources which I took my information from:

http://www.fao.org/newsroom/EN/news/2006/1000385/index.html

http://www.forestry.gov.uk/newsrele.nsf/AllByUNID/24D47BC73BCE856D8025746B002F4FF1

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/eye/deforestation/effect.html

http://www.wikihow.com/Save-Trees

The rough placing of how the information should be placed:


Basically, I tried to show how trees contributed to a greener environment. On how it reduces the emission of carbon dioxide gases. I have also tried to include several tips to save the trees, such as recycling papers, newspapers and paper bags. Saying no to deforestation.

After coloring it, this is what it looks like. It somehow feels more like poster rather than an infographic! But I tried my best! >.<


Should I use a lighter color for the background? I chose green because I thought it would tie in with my tree-based infographics better.
